In the early 1960s, the invasion of the marshes by wildfowling clubs convinced Thorpe that the bountiful days were forever gone. Complaining that "the marsh is a regular shooting gallery," he went straight in 1963 and has since become, among other things, the man responsible for tracking down poachers in Lincolnshire−a job he performs with uncommon speed and skill...
